ハワイ島 ジップライン体験8本 ワールド・ボタニカル・ガーデンの中を滑走 <英語インストラクター>

It was so much fun! とにかく楽しい!

Reviewed by: オムレツ

The zip line gradually becomes higher and longer, designed to be more exciting and high-speed, making it a lot of fun. The guides are also great at getting everyone excited, creating a sense of togetherness as we all enjoy ourselves. It's true that if you can't speak English, you might miss half of the conversation, but even so, I was able to participate in the discussions and feel the enjoyable atmosphere.

ジップラインは次第に高く、長いものになり、よりエキサイティングかつハイスピードになるよう構成されていて、すごく楽しいです。
ガイドの方も盛り上げ上手で、みんなで楽しもうという一体感があります。
確かに英語ができないと、話半分になっちゃいますが、それでも話の中には参加でき、楽しい雰囲気を感じることはできました。

If you rely entirely on the navigation system to get to the meeting place, you might not arrive. A little caution is needed at the end.

See you in the sky

Reviewed by: See you in the sky

This was an absolutely amazing experience and I highly recommend! The view is stunning- truly unbelievable. You feel as if you have been transported to another world.

Tips from someone who has been there-
Dress as if you are visiting a frozen tundra. Its cold.

Take someone you love with you so you have a witness to what you are seeing- this helps to ease your mind from thinking its a dream. You will be in disbelief of the awesome beauty.

Listen to a great song while you star gaze- here’s mine.

We had a blast exploring the WOH ranch on our ATVs. Be prepared to get covered in dust but the amazing views make it worth it! Our guides were amazing - making sure the whole group was comfortable and having fun. They shared info about the ranch as well as the island.

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

You can feel at ease even if it's your first time. 初めてでも安心

Reviewed by: tsbd

Horses have their own personalities, but they are well-trained, making it a安心して乗馬体験できます for beginners! The staff was very helpful, providing support from three people. It was a 1.5-hour course, and I was very satisfied. Although it's a bit far from the sea, I was able to fully enjoy the mountains. There is no map at the entrance, so it's important to check carefully.

Hawaii ATV Ride Tour at Kohala Coast - Sea to Mountain Off-Road Adventure

Fun time, great adventure

Reviewed by: VexyMaxwell

Great pre-excusion communication. All personnel were helpful and friendly. We were fortunate to be a small group overall with the team in the lead and rear vehicles and only us tourists in 3 vehicles. Our only issue was it seemed like the goal was to drive as fast as possible - we were constantly behind (not as comfortable with the speed) and we sometimes lost site of the vehicle in front. Even with tring to look for their dust trail, it was stressful. They did stop when there was a turn so we could catch up, and we knew there was a guide behind us. Still recommend!

Riding up to the top of Mauna Kea with James, our tour guide and driver, was interesting and entertaining! James is very knowledgeable about the Hawaiian culture and history; volcanic geology; the telescopes on Mauna Kea; and the night sky. And he always paid close attention to all his customers. A better telescope would have made this tour perfect.

Great family adventure!

Reviewed by: Julia

My husband and I and our two kids (ages 8 & 6) rode in the 4-seater and it was great fun! Driving through the mud was slippery and exciting and while we all got a bit muddy and wet the UTV protects you from most of the splash. Our favourite bit was swimming in the waterfall. There were life vests for the kids which made it easy not to worry about them. The water was cold but really refreshing and beautiful. The guides were great and helped us out of a few jams after we fishtailed off the track!

Wonderful experience 素晴らしい体験

Reviewed by: ぱーく

You can enjoy a horseback riding experience in the wonderfully beautiful nature shown in the photos. The horses are all gentle and well-trained, and even as a beginner, I had a great time riding.
There are Japanese versions of the notices and forms available on-site.
The guide speaks only in English, but they talk very slowly and clearly.
Wearing a helmet while riding is optional, but it's best to wear one.
The ranch is located at an altitude of about 1000 meters, and it can get quite cold when the wind blows or it rains. They can lend you a jacket, but make sure to prepare for the cold as well.

写真のような大変素晴らしい自然の中で、乗馬体験ができます。お馬さんたちはみな大人しく、よくトレーニングされており、初心の私も楽しく乗馬を楽しめました。
現地での注意書き、記入用紙などは日本語版が備えてあります。
ガイドは英語のみですが、大変ゆっくりとわかりやすく話してくれます。
乗馬の際にヘルメット着用は選択性になっていますが、必ず着用しましょう。
牧場は標高が1000mくらいの所にあり、風が吹いたり雨が降ったりすると、かなりの寒さになります。ジャケットは貸してもらえるのですが、防寒対策もきちんとしていきましょう。
